Guest guest Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Namaste Syji, Hmmm..I have received SO MUCH extraordinary amount of spam mail recently on my webmail (I must be getting at least 300% more than usual, up to 50 mails a day!) and after just reading your post I checked my bulk folders where these mails are delivered into and these emails are actually the same as you are mentioning, but I do not yet recognize if the mails are seemingly from addresses of any members here. I am no computer wizard, but definitely something is going on here. Anyone else?

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Namaste Oleji, Pranaam The reason why some addys are not recognised is because the person or persons doing it are advanced technos. I.e. someone can click on the "Properties" on my addy and track it to my private email account (never used on group postings) and send mails to my private addy. This means, they track the "webmail properties addys" (hotmail, , incredimail, rediff, etc. etc.) of some members here and track it to their private accounts with i.e. aol.com, rediff.com, etc. etc.. Then send mails by "bouncing" off those accounts without the individuals even knowing that their addys have been used to send mails and viruses. Those subject/topics I such as "Thank You, Your Application, Wicked screensaver, Approved", etc. contain variations of the Blaster Worm/Sobig.F viruses. Scratching my head also about Robyn, the South African distributor for Rudra Centre. I don't know this lady nor have corresponded with her in any form or manner. Her addy was also bounced off to send mails to me.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Salutations Sri DharmaDev Aryaji, So glad to have your special darshan, thank you. You are right, this person seems to be busy gathering addresses from the members' list and making mischief. Seems like this person or organisation is online 24 hours a day. Everytime I logged on, the same IP address and properties show up. This is because I'm online at different hours of the day and night on some work and study assignments. Thank you Devaji, for sharing your comments.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 It may not be a deliberate attack. Some viruses attach to address books, and send spam to any address they find. Members who use Norton might want to set it to update daily, for awhile. And, do the occasional manual scan, just to check. My fiance uses an application that makes one's computer literally invisible to other computers, thus impossible to attack. The virus can't find the computer. If any one wants, I'll ask him about it and post the info. Mac users will find that infected attachments just won't open.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 One other thing... if you get an e-mail from a member that has a title that you wouldn't anticipate, delete it. I once got an e-mail from my boss, titled,"I Love You." I deleted it without opeining it. It was the Love Bug virus. K. , "karisprowl" <karisprowl@e...> wrote: > It may not be a deliberate attack.
